A Pet Peeve Variation

,

I didn’t think it was possible, but I found a variation of my refrigerator pet peeve. You know I hate it when insulated food bags are stored inside a crowded refrigerator at work. But the other day, this blew my mind.

Really?!?
Really?!?

The one insulated bag didn’t bug me as much at that soda box. Seriously? Keeping the soda box cool? And the only items on that soda box are two stacked containers of poke and the one lowly cup of mustard. Then there’s me holding my lunch and water bottles. Guess what happened to that box.

Why Did I Bother?

,

I gotta learn to overcome my habit of correcting technical mistakes. So I got an email at work that said something technically incorrect. After indirectly telling the sender about the correction, I get a follow-on email telling me how my correction isn’t a better solution. Umm, I didn’t say it was better, but it is the correct term for the topic at hand.

I shoulda left well enough alone. Even after a venti mocha and a nap, I feel exhausted from this wasted effort.

Today, I Caved

,

Maybe I’m tired, maybe I’m dispassionate, maybe I’m just run down, but today, I caved. I shoved my entire insulated lunch bag into an already crowded refrigerator at work. No matter that the refrigerator is packed with other insulated lunch bags (a pet peeve of mine), I usually empty out my insulated bag and only store the items needing refrigeration. But not today. Today I’m guilty of the same.

It felt good.

Refrigerator Pet Peeve

,

Along with my running pet peeve, here’s another thing that irritates me. Check out the refrigerator at work.

Why, oh why are there so many insulated lunch bags inside of the refrigerated refrigerator? Um, it is cold inside the refrigerator, so that insulation doesn’t do much inside the refrigerator. I really hate those bags that are big and puffy and take up so much space, but inside the bag is a small flat sandwich or a can of juice. People, can’t you take your food stuff out of these space eaters and only store the necessities inside the refrigerator?

Now, I take the initiative and rearrange the bags so that stuff actually fits. I’ve gently crushed a bag or two that has a plastic container or tupperware inside of them. I have to take a cue from @abaggy and bring in my Igloo cooler and jam it in the refrigerator to make a point.
